Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend the self-rising flour and crisco together until well combined.
- Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup of warm water and let it sit until activated.
- Add the yeast mixture, sugar, and buttermilk to the flour mixture.
- Mix well until a soft dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try substituting half of the Crisco with unsalted butter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Ensure the yeast is fresh for optimal rise. For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs or cheese into the dough.
Serving Suggestions
These rolls pair wonderfully with soups or stews and can be served warm with butter. For a delightful breakfast option, enjoy them with jam or honey. They also make a fantastic side for dishes like Country Applesauce Cake or alongside a hearty breakfast of eggs and bacon.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of self-rising flour?
Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour. Just add 1 tablespoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt for every cup of flour to replicate the effects of self-rising flour.
What can I substitute for buttermilk?
If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitute by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before using it in the recipe.
How can I ensure my rolls are soft and fluffy?
To achieve soft and fluffy rolls, avoid overworking the dough. Mix until just combined and drop spoonfuls onto the baking sheet without shaping too much. Additionally, keep the oven door closed during baking to maintain a consistent temperature.
